Chapter 556
"Knock, knock, knock."
There were knocks on the door in the silent room. Shao stared out the window in a daze, without any reaction.
"Creaky."
The door was pushed open, Zhao walked in, and saw the appearance of Wuhun flying into the sky.
He has become like this since the Japanese general found Shao for the first time. It was a little more serious at the beginning, with a frown and empty eyes.
But after half a day, he no longer frowned, but he was still in a daze often, and the whole person was not in a state, and he did not deal with any official documents.
This made Zhao feel that something serious must have happened that he didn't know about, and it should be related to the God of Fire.
This guess was not only because of the scenes predicted by the Star Totem yesterday, but also because after General Ri arrived, it was the Sun Totem in the Sunset Bow that communicated with Shao alone, and no one else participated.
The Sun Totem could only be communicating with the God of Fire in such a cautious manner, or it could be said that the God of Fire was using the Sun Totem to communicate with Shao.
With the above guesses, it was not difficult for him to guess how serious the problem was.
But fortunately, new news was coming, and General Ri was visiting Shao again.
"Teacher, General Ri wants to see you."
After he said that, he saw the teacher's eyelids twitch quickly.
"Okay, let him in... Wait."
Without waiting for Zhao to leave, Shao suddenly called him again: "Bring me a glass of wine first, something stronger."
Zhao frowned. He knew that the teacher rarely drank. Is it so serious that he wanted strong wine at this time?
"Yes."
After answering, Zhao turned around and poured a glass of strong wine for Shao, and put the glass on the teacher's desk. He asked softly: "Let the Japanese general come in now?"
Shao did not rush to answer, nor did he pick up the glass. His left hand was on his right hand, and his eyes were still a little sluggish looking at the glass.
After a pause, he gently said: "Let him come in after five minutes."
"Yes." Zhao
responded, turned around and walked out the door, and gently closed the door.
Shao let out a long breath, slowly let go of his left hand, and let his trembling right hand take the glass.
"Pah, pah..."
When the wine glass left the table, it collided with the table, and a lot of wine spilled.
"Pah."
Shao slammed the wine glass on the table, held his right forearm with his left hand, and knocked it hard against the desk.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
One muffled sound after another, he didn't stop even though his wrist was red and swollen.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Rhythmic knocks on the door sounded, and you knew it was a photo.
"Get out."
Shao said roughly.
The knocks on the door disappeared, and there was silence outside.
"Huh..."
Shao let out another long breath, his left hand released his right hand, and filled a glass of wine with his left hand again, picked up the glass and put it down again. After a
long silence, Shao finally did not drink the glass of wine, and reached out to pull the rope next to him.
There was a sound of bells outside the door, the door opened quickly, and Zhao appeared in the office.
"Let him in."
Shao said calmly.
"Yes." Zhao
replied immediately.
"Wait a minute."
Shao stopped Shao again, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry for losing my temper with you just now. I will pay attention in the future."
"Teacher, I'm fine." Zhao
's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly, turned around and walked out.
He wanted to cry, not because the teacher apologized to him, but because he had a very, very bad guess in his heart.
The teacher with strong self-control could not control his emotions, which seemed to confirm his guess in disguise.
Not long after, Shao's door was pushed open again. This time it was General Ri, who was also his student.
"Teacher, Ri Totem has something to tell you."
General Ri Ying respectfully placed the sunset bow in front of Shao and turned around to walk out the door.
"Please speak."
Shao said to the Tai Chi mark on the Sunset Bow.
The thick mist on the Tai Chi mark rose, and a line of text appeared:
All is well, Fire God stays.
Behind this text, there is a special mark.
It is a mark that only he and Fire God know. With this mark, it proves that everything is true and it is a message from Fire God.
"Hehe, hehe, hahaha..."
Shao laughed, at first it was a soft laugh, then the sound became louder and louder, and finally the whole person laughed forward and backward in the chair, completely unable to control himself. After a while,
he stopped laughing with a loud gasp, and after calming down for a long time, he said to the Sun Totem: "Thank you, I understand."
Pulling the rope again, letting Zhao and General Ri come in, Shao smiled and told them that what was predicted had happened and Fire God was fine.
Zhao and General Ri also breathed a sigh of relief. Shao waved his hand to let them leave, and then he sat quietly for a while before walking out of the office. When
he appeared in the office outside, everyone suddenly became quiet.
Shao seldom came out during working hours, and every time he came out, he was in a hurry. Only this time, he came out and scanned everything with a smile.
"You guys are busy, I'll go out for a walk."
He said gently, his voice clear, just like when he taught them.
They haven't seen Shao like this for a long time.
"Teacher, I'll go with you."
Zhao walked over and said.
"No, I'm not here. If you have anything, you can confirm it. I'll just go out for a walk."
He said, patted the shoulder of the photographer, and strode out of this huge office.
After leaving the office, it was the courtyard of the Witch Academy. People here were in a hurry. Many people walked past him without even looking back at him.
Shao didn't care about these things. He stretched his waist and strode out of the Witch Academy.
As soon as he walked out of the witch academy, Huo came to him and guarded him tightly with the guards.
"It's okay, give me some space, let me relax."
Shao said to him, walked forward a few steps, and came to the center of the square.
Standing here, looking north, there is the towering altar, but he knows that Baxia is not there.
After walking in the square for a while, he glanced at the Fire Tribe Alliance Academy not far away, and walked there involuntarily.
"Hello, Teacher Shao."
"Good morning, Teacher Shao."
As soon as he entered the school, the students greeted him one after another. They would not call Shao Wu, but liked to call him teacher affectionately.
Shao also responded to each student with a smile. In order to avoid frequent nodding, he walked into a small path.
Along the path, through some courtyards, Shao heard the sound of a flute coming from a forest.
Following the sound, he found a few students sitting in groups of three or four in a forest. The teacher was a musical wizard, and the one playing the flute was Shao's youngest son, Xian.
Shao was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that his child had learned to play the flute, and it sounded pretty good.
This made him feel guilty. In the past few years, he had invested too much energy in the construction of the tribe, and paid less attention to his wife and children.
With guilt, he walked into the students, and his child immediately stopped and looked at him in surprise.
"You play well."
Shao said to him with a smile, then looked at Yin Wu, bowed slightly and said, "Teacher."
He called Yin Wu teacher because it was Yin Wu who taught him how to play, and Yin Wu had many qualities that he respected.
Ever since he broke up the tribe and the tribal shaman was no longer responsible for his own tribal affairs, Yin Wu voluntarily gave up his power to prove that Shao had no preference for the Yin tribe.
This was the greatest support for him, and Yin Wu never made him feel embarrassed in this position.
"It's rare to see you come to the academy."
Yin Wu said with a smile.
Shao nodded and apologized, "I'm too busy with work."
Yin Wu nodded and said to the students, "This is our shaman, you all recognize her, right?"
"Yes."
The students answered in unison.
"He is not only a witch, but also a master at playing the xiao. How about letting him perform for everyone?"
the music witch said with a smile.
The children hurriedly started to make noise, not nervous at all because of Shao's identity. Those
who can enter the Fire Tribe Alliance Academy all have some status in their families, and the teaching environment here is relaxed. No matter what their identities are outside, they are all teachers and students here.
"Xian, give me your xiao."
Shao did not refuse, and stretched out his hand to his children.
Xian immediately ran over and handed his xiao to his father.
Shao took the xiao and was stunned for a moment. This xiao was his. It had been with him for many years and was specially designed for him by his wife.
"Good boy."
Shao rubbed Xian's head and asked him to go back and sit down. He
picked up the xiao and put it to his mouth. He hesitated for a long time and did not blow out a sound.
The students were all sitting on the ground, watching him quietly, no one urged him.
Children who could learn xi from Yin Wu were all very well-educated, and they knew that the silence of a musician was also a part of the music itself.
After a long time, Shao began to play the xi, and a low and long sound rang out. As soon as this sound rang out, it brought a depressing atmosphere.
Yin Wu frowned slightly, this kind of music was not suitable for a child of this age.
But he didn't say anything, but looked at Shao with some worry, this child who he watched grow up was not like this before.
The sound was still deep and long, and some children frowned because of the depressed atmosphere. They could understand the feelings, but they could not understand the meaning. They just felt depressed and uncomfortable.
Many children even wanted to cry secretly, feeling wronged, and they didn't know why.
Slowly, Shao began to speed up the rhythm, and the depressed atmosphere began to slowly ease, but suddenly a few rapid and jumping scales appeared, causing a dramatic change in the mood that had just eased.
Sure enough, the sound became low again, but this time it was no longer stretched, but there was a fast rhythm change, as if struggling in a difficult situation and exploring in despair.
The music rises and falls, and short, sparse high notes begin to be interspersed between the bass, as if people are struggling forward and striving to move forward.
The high notes become more and more, and the low scales become fewer and fewer, like the feeling that the storm is about to pass and the dawn is about to come.
The rhythm is getting faster and faster, Shao's fingers are swaying like butterfly wings, the bass is getting less and less, and after the last few consecutive high notes, it is completely free from the low sound.
There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the turbulent sea.
This line of poetry suddenly rang out in Yin Wu's heart. His face was filled with smiles, and the children's faces were filled with happy tears.
